SWFSC Libraries

About the Libraries

The SWFSC maintains libraries at our three facilities in La Jolla, Santa Cruz, and Pacific Grove. Although our primary mission is to serve the research needs of SWFSC staff, the La Jolla and Santa Cruz libraries also provide services to the NMFS Southwest Region, other libraries, and the public by appointment.

Please use the left-side menu to learn more about our services and resources.

Library Catalog

The holdings of the SWFSC La Jolla and Santa Cruz libraries can be searched through the NOAA Library Catalog. All NOAA libraries are searched by default, but you can limit to a specific library if desired (choose "Southwest Fisheries Science Center Library" for the La Jolla Library, or "SWFSC Santa Cruz Laboratory Library").
